I still get those too and I tend to keep the house really cold at night when my hubby is at work. Last night I did not keep it as cold since he was home and I did not sleep well at all. I finally got to sleep around 3 this morning and then was woken up by a rukus next door. <br /><br />I do hope that today is a much better day and that you slept well last night!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449564619872452771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283658887503348180.post-77242562497486150842017-08-13T16:45:33.585-07:002017-08-13T16:45:33.585-07:00So nice to see that you&#39;re able to answer ever...So nice to see that you&#39;re able to answer everyone&#39;s comments. And, yes,the rain started here some time last night and continued through mid-morning. It cooled the temps down and cleared the air. Yea!<br />I ran (so to speak,ha!) to the grocery store to price match something. And gave the dog his 15 minute walk around the block. And back into my jammies. I&#39;m feeling better. <br /><br />Last night was rough though- I had some horrible night sweats. That&#39;s one of the symptoms that&#39;s still a challenge. I know when I have them then the next day I have to come to a stop. Not what I want to do but have to do. I know you get it and that&#39;s such a blessing to me.<br />Glad the cooler temps are helping ease your flare. The water park with your grands sounds like fun. I love playing in the water - swimming, splashing, anything.<br />Cheers, SJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283658887503348180.post-59322694462699323792017-08-13T12:41:38.709-07:002017-08-13T12:41:38.709-07:00Thanks Bless. :) We got rain last night so it dra...Thanks Bless. :) We got rain last night so it drastically cooled down and knocked some of the smoke out of the air. It has been wonderful to have the windows open and smell clean air once again. :) It has really helped calm my flare down too.

The juice from the raspberries actually helps take some of the &quot;bite&quot; on of the gin. I&#39;m doing better today and actually feeling pretty good after having a full day yesterday. I think the weather finally cooling down has a lot to do with that.

My fibro flair started to settle down so I was able to fully enjoy our time at the waterpark with the grandboys yesterday. :)Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449564619872452771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283658887503348180.post-44752073566280982432017-08-13T12:34:50.685-07:002017-08-13T12:34:50.685-07:00HI Jane.

Remember, this is a week&#39;s worth of activity, not a day! ;) <br />Your weather reminds me of growing up in Hawaii. Winter just meant we got more rain than Summer.

Praying your hubby feels better soon after having those teeth pulled.<br /><br />We got some rain and winds finally that moved the smoke out and settled the dust from harvest down a bit. Today I have the windows open and am enjoying the cool air. I would worry about your neighbors not fully putting out their bonfires. Don&#39;t they realize how dangerous (not to mention rude) that is?Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449564619872452771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283658887503348180.post-7734346470489763472017-08-13T12:28:26.572-07:002017-08-13T12:28:26.572-07:00Good Morning SJ!

Oh it was glorious to sleep in this morning to the sound and smell of it. :)<br /><br />I&#39;m glad that your crash was not that bad considering that you had been on the go with your trip. I&#39;m also glad that you are giving yourself grace and are at peace with not going and doing the apple harvest. We can only do what we can right?<br /><br />Be blessed!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449564619872452771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283658887503348180.post-29826764209143582772017-08-13T11:55:11.287-07:002017-08-13T11:55:11.287-07:00I hope the smoke continues to abate.

Isn&#39;t it wonderful that you have enough put by to be able to help your friend &#39;shop&#39; your pantry. It also means that you are able to stay out of all that smoke and keep yourself safe.<br />I have been reading your blog posts but haven&#39;t commented as we have been having a wonderful time travelling the countyside in our caravan. We got home last Thursday and have been busy unpacking, cleaning and washing.<br />It&#39;s supposed to be winter but I am writing this in Tshirt and shorts with the fur baby sitting on the recliner with me.<br />I hope that these fibro flairs settle down and you can have some health worry free time.<br />I hope you enjoyed your date with your Grandie.Jane Allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06964345893499561504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283658887503348180.post-20335080918060382412017-08-12T17:25:51.272-07:002017-08-12T17:25:51.272-07:00Sorry to hear that you had such a miserable fibro ...Sorry to hear that you had such a miserable fibro flareup. The salads that you made look so delicious. My husband just had two teeth pulled, so we both have been eating foods that are soft and smooth. I am trying not to eat anything crunchy or meaty in order not to tempt him. <br /><br />That smoke in your area looks bad. It would be bad for me too. Anytime there is a nice fresh cool evening around here, we end up having to keep our doors and windows closed because so many people in houses nearby are enjoying their fire pit bonfires. I don&#39;t begrudge them their bonfires and fun, but wish they could put them out after midnight so we could get some fresh air into our house.<br /><br />I hope your fibro simmers down and you can enjoy the rest of this last full month of summer.susie @ persimmon moon cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653330247272673990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283658887503348180.post-72383274616258436152017-08-12T12:45:42.957-07:002017-08-12T12:45:42.957-07:00Look at all you got done this week!!

I still focus more on what I didn&#39;t get to on my &#39;to-do&#39;list.<br />Trouble with the Curve is one of my go-to favorite movies. I have it on dvd and love it.<br />I&#39;m right with you about the effect this smoke is having on my health. And I don&#39;t normally have breathing problems but I woke-up Thursday feeling like this heavy weight was on my chest. I&#39;m glad today is a little better weather wise and tomorrow we&#39;re supposed to get rain. I hope that holds.<br /><br />I&#39;ve been in a slight crash since coming home from my trip. But given that I was on a 5-day trip, I am over the moon with how well I&#39;m feeling. I&#39;ve only done the absolute necessary things the last three days. I&#39;ve run &#39;errands&#39; about an hour each morning and then back in my jammies for the rest of the day. Was in bed last night at 615 -- crazy but that&#39;s what I&#39;ve needed.<br />I,too, feel the pressure to get on with gardening and harvesting. But that&#39;s not happening and I am actually ok with it, mostly. One of my community gardens have apples to harvest and I won&#39;t be doing that any time soon. I&#39;m actually quite at peace with it all. There&#39;s not point in fight it, that&#39;s a waste of energy that I just don&#39;t have.<br /><br />Well, that was quite a ramble...Maybe my brain fog is kicking in as well...... take good care of yourself.
